Dynamic Door Block - Modify frame face width without altering rough opening width

I have a somewhat complex dynamic door block that I'd like to modify. The goal is to be able to adjust the frame face width without altering the rough opening width. It's a seemingly simple enough function to add, but because of how the block is set up and my inexperience, I'm unsure how to so without disrupting the functionality it currently has. If anyone has any pointers or observations on how to improve the block, it would be deeply appreciated. Thank you!

What do you mean by rough opening width?

Apologies for the late reply. In this case, it would mean the full width of the block. Thank you!

What helped me was separating the frame geometry from the rough opening with constraints and using a stretch action tied only to the frame face. That way, the rough opening stays put. If your block is already complex, try adding a new parameter just for the frame and isolate it from the rest of the geometry.

This block may help you to visualize how to set your block up.

If you think this may work for you then feel free to ask questions if you can't seem to figure out how to do this yourself.
